Global warming is starting to go out the window, no kidding.
People still believe it.
BUT! the investigators and scientific institutes involved are baffled as to some of the weather patterns going on. It doesn't match what was
predicted from global warming, nor follow their assumed results and ideals of what today's weather was going to be like. These predictions and what
not, being from yrs ago when they first brought up the concept.
Some claim its just the world having somewhat of a climatic cycle that stretches for yrs... rather than a global warming epidemic. Maybe you need to
use your car a little more Chris, warm the place back up

I was using a terribly inefficient fan heater powered by coal. I guess thats why the snow went away.

it's not global warming - its climate change accelerated by humans.
some paces get warmer, some colder, some more rain, some less.
in any case, increases in extremes of weather will be become more common.
nice pics though!

It is heat that 'powers' weather, so GW causes an increases in extremes of weather such as snow in the Gong
Anyone who doesn't believe GW is 'real' is an idiot

Call me an idiot, but i don't think human existance would even register as a blip on the earths timeline. I think its a little bit short sighted to
think that by studying weather patterns over the past, few hundred years, we could possibly predict whats going to happen in another hundred
years.
I aslo think that as humans we like to belive that everything revolves around us.
My 2 cents
P.S 'snowbal fight'!

Amazing photos. I have never seen snow outside of Perisher/Smiggins, and I've never seen a decent hail storm either.
Of course climate is changing. Climate has been changing over the whole history of the Earth, some 4.6 billion years. There have been long periods of
hot; long periods of cold. There have been times of world-wide ice ages, world-wide deserts, world-wide tropics. Oceans have been 100m lower than now,
and 100m higher. There have been periods where life has flourished, and others when life has almost died out. The earth has been hot and wet; cold and
wet; hot and dry; cold and dry; and everything in between.
The reasons are many and varied. The sun's output is almost constant but not quite, with many short and long-term cycles laid over one another.
Earth's orbit is not circular, nor is it constant. Earth's axial tilt changes. The moon's orbit has changed. The Earth's magnetic field changes,
moves, fluctuates and reverses. Continents move, drifting both over and away from the poles. Historically, it is most unusual to have two polar ice
caps at once. The Earth is currently moving out of a colder-than-normal scenario when you look at things in terms of, say, the last 1,000,000
years.
The question is whether human activity is having any effect. We have been here such a short time - a bare eyeblink - that it is impossible to say
without knowing more about the larger, natural effects. CO2 increased from 270 parts per million to 300 parts per million between 1750 and 1850 (as
revealed by ice core measurements), which humans could not have caused. Could there be a natural process for CO2 increase that has been overlooked?
Water vapour contributes up to 70% of the Earth's 'greenhouse' effect (based on abundance and absorbtion of infrared radiation), far more than CO2
or methane. Not much we can do about that !

put it this way...
we are making CO2 emmissions by burning products of oil (petrol, kero, av gas.. u name it) and coal
OIL and COAL are fossil fuels... formed by hi pressures and temperatures underground on dead flora and fauna material. (leaves, dead dinos... u name
it right).
Does that mean than, we are simply returning the CO2 they were living in and we are reviving the original atmosphere the earth had? How could be be
destroying the earth from these emmissions if its just returning it to the same state where technology and cars and what not didn't even exist, back
to an atmosphere where the time period had more dense flora and fauna thriving happily.
Think about it

Hi
I'm all for looking after the planet and not making a mess for future generations, but this whole carbon credit thing looks like a good way for some
to make money and others to suffer.

Hmm perhaps I should have just titled the thread fuck its cold... which it actually wasnt that cold yesterday, the weekend was much colder. But now
that we're here
Because we cant prove one way or another it comes down to who's propaganda you want to listen to. I think there would be far less opposition to the
global warming theory if it were the cheaper option.
Regardless of temperature, I know the sky is dirty brown and it would be nicer without that. I know that there isnt brown stuff in the country but the
bigger the city the more brown stuff is there in the air. Based on those facts I have a theory that people cause brown stuff. I know that the
population is rising and therefore emissions of brown stuff are increasing. Everybody who likes smog, put their hand up now!
I know that allergies and asthma and cancers are on the rise. I also know that when I was a kid I could spend all day at the beach without getting
sunburnt. I can only remember one time in my childhood getting sunburnt and that was when mum took us to the snow for the first time and didnt think
it would be hot enough to get burnt! And now I get a little burnt after watching my daughter play netball for 1 hour. Thats what has happened over the
last 30 years, That trend continued, you wont be able to go outside for 5 minutes by the time I'm ready to retire.
The world is getting hotter, nobody denies that. Its just the cause that is up for debate. You can sit around till the cows come home, already
microwaved just slice them up and serve and tell anyone its not your fault and have a happy conscience. Or you can attempt to try and at least slow it
down just in case it IS your fault. Maybe it IS our fault but it isnt proven yet... thalidomide, asbestos, lead, dalcon shield... all good things
until proven otherwise.
If you are arrogant enough to think that some things arent absolute and no way no how it can be carbon related, and no matter what you burn the world
is still going to heat up, surely it would be better and healthier to let it heat up with cleaner air. Would you not want to reduce smog if you could?
Well you know you can.

I dont fully agree with carbon credits. I cant see how letting the big polluters pollute if the give money to non polluters does anything for the
environment. I think it would be more useful if the big polluters were made to spend the money on pollution reduction.
Does anyone think that the smog reduction measures in Beijing are shite? I cant believe 17 million people are living there every day of their lives in
that smog, and then a couple of thousand sports people go there and demand clean air so that they can run fast. So they effectively shut the whole
place down! If it isnt Olympics related, its closed!

Hi
Plenty of blue sky in my part of Sydney. You only need to look to the middle ages to see that things have been warmer in the past, the Romans grew
grapes in Britain and how do you think Greenland got its name.

These pollies and greenies must think the population are stupid to believe this GW nonsense.
It's just another propaganda scam for the Gov to make money on.
Honestly when Kev and the other clowns came up with the idea of this carbon crap scam and that it would cost $5 Billion (which we'd have to pay for)
surely for the money that's been considered, it could have been spent on creating better infrastructure for creating greener power etc.....
Cheers

 I thought the same...... green's so-oo last
season anyway.. This seasons hottest trend is purple...... make a bold statement and impress your friends by being part of the 'In'
crowd.......purplepower is HOT, Green is NOT....Carbon trading is no longer considered cool either, it's yu-gi-oh swapcard revival month in the
playground, that and coloured rubber bands,, swap them, stretch them, flick them...hours of fun for kids of all ages.....Scientists have confirmed
rubber bands in fact reduce cancer by up to 75.8%........How do we know this is true? Because ACA says so...  |
